Which team will take the chance in rolling the dice in being the new number 1 team in the country after Indiana losses to Illinois as time expires.!!!!!

Tonight another big upset occured when the number 1 ranked Indiana Hoosiers lost to Illinois University at the buzzard by the final score of 74 to 72. What a win by the Illinois mens basketball team in needing a win to secure a chance in the Ncaa Tournament. With being down double digits late in the second half with about six minutes left in the game. Backup Forward Tyler Griffey is going to be the man on campus after making the big shot in the final 0.9 seconds of the ball game to secure the comebehind victory against the Hoosiers. The Illini were down double digits most of the second half before clsoing the game on a 13-2 over the final 3:36 in the ball game. The game looked like it would be all over when the Illni's starting center Ninanna Egwu fouled out with just under 5 minutes to play, the Hoosiers looked in control , Egwu is the only Illni player with seem to be the good size matchup against Cody Zeller who is 7 feet tall. To me the Hoosiers had a hangover from the big weekend victory over the Michigan Wolverines who were number the one team in the country at the time of that matchup. What gave the Illni a chance in winning this game was the key steal from Brandon Paul from the Illni poke the ball from Victory Oladipo and D.J. Ricardson recovered the ball and was able to give the team one last chance. I thought this game was over after the Hoosiers went up double digits late into the game. As the saying goes  " You play to the last whistle is blown and to never give up to the end". The Illni showed heart and desire which was an incredible thing to watch because of the words the coach kept telling them which they took to heart. The Hoosiers seemed to be thinking that they had this game with plenty of time left in the game to allow the opponent to come back and win the game. The key players fofr the Illni showed up tonight when they were needed the most which were Brandon Paul and D.J. Ricardson who combined for 45 of the 74 points in bringing them back in getting this victory tonight which i am in total shock. This shows us that there are no true dominant team in mens college basketball right now that this season is wide open.

It's not even the weekend and two upsets have occured with both the number # 1 and number # 2 teams go down in losses in there conference matchups. This will be interesting in who will be considered the two new top teams but i have a good idea in who will be in those spots the teams are Michigan and Duke who are sitting right behind Indiana and Florida. This years Ncaa Tournament is going to be something special because it is anyones game and the title could go to anyone. If Indiana is going to be consider more of a threat to win the National Title they got to take care of these games they should win, and take it more serious. I think they still have the hangover from the big win they had over the weekend like i had mentioned before. Indiana doesnt show me that they are a threat in beating everyone in there way in getting to the National Championship game and winning it all. They remind me of the Duke team from last year and choked when tournament time came around. They got to take care of business for the rest of the season because there schedule doesnt get any easier from this point on. I am not trying to take anything away from the Illni who played hard and never gave up. They kept in the game by sinking in there Free Throws as well as getting the Hoosiers in foul trouble. They were able to set up there type of game and not play the Hoosiers fast break offense which would of got out of hand. I think the Illni will built from this and starting playing like they were in the beginning of the season. Who will obtain the number # 1 spot and try to keep it for more than one week it seems like no one wants it and we have a new team each week. This is going to be a interesting college basketball season of what is left of it.
